Encore project won't load

I have 2 encore projects - significant because they have about 22 video clips linked together with a dozen or so menus. One is a copy of the main project and neither of them will load for me.
I'm using CS5. Prior to today everytime I wanted to load this project it took ages to gather all the bits and finally put them into timelines and now it won't do it at all. I have a couple of clips that need to be changed before re-burning a final copy for duplication.
Please get back to me asap as I have a deadline of tomorrow to sort it.
Thanks,
Cheryl

IMovie 09 projects won't load HELP!

Hiya, i have searched all over theplace to try to find out why my projects wont load in IM 09, to no avail.
The below link seems to be the bestbit of information i have worked on.
I have no 3rd party plug in's in thequicktime folder.
I have deleted the last few moviesimported (despite the fact these worked and were later exported)
iMovie will load on another acct thati created, but wont be able to work with whats imported into this acct unless ire upload?
iMovie does start up, i see all myclips i have imported, but none of my projects won't load.
I do have a fair bit of footagethere, but it was working fine when i had a lot more in there (before deletingafter i had used it).
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/1906531?threadID=1906531&tstart=0

I have had the same problem and found that if I opend up iPhoto where the videos were placed from, it cleared up the problem. Crazy, huh? Plus, you have to make sure that the iPhoto account is opened to the correct one...this is done by Option Clicking on iPhoto and choosing which account you have the active videos in.

Project won't load after upgrade to 10.1.3

Howdy,
I'm working on a series of videos, each in a separate project, but all in the same library.
I did the bulk of the editing in 10.1, but recently upgraded to 10.1.3. FCPX did it's usual "update projects and events" routine when I opened the library in 10.1.3 for the first time. All my projects appear to be fine, except one...
This project is about 30 minutes long, with a handful of different clips – nothing huge... but it won't load. I get the spinning beach ball for a few minutes, then a system alert saying I've run out of application memory. I check Activity Monitor, and sure enough, FCPX is using over 12GB of RAM! It seems FCPX gets stuck in some sort of loop while trying to load this project, and I'm not sure what to do about it... Any help would be appreciated.
System info:
iMac
OSX 10.9.5
3.5GHz Core i7
16GB RAM

OK, I think I resolved my issue. I hadn't noticed that there was one missing media file in the project that wouldn't open. I didn't notice because normally, FCPX would open the project and swap a "missing media" icon for the absent file in the timeline, but in this case it simply refused to open the project. I re-imported the missing file, and now there are two of them in my media browser. If I delete any one of them, they both disappear... Odd.
In any case, my project opens now and that's good. What I don't understand is what happened to that missing file in the first place. I didn't delete it or move it. It seems to have been kicked out of the FCPX database upon upgrade to version 10.1.3, which by itself is a little troubling... and I fear there may still be similar database issues that I haven't discovered yet lurking in other projects
Here's hoping all of FCPX's "growing pains" get resolved soon.
Thanks for your help, Russ.

Some projects won't load full screen view?!?

I have about 10 projects (out of 130) that won't load in the full screen view if I enter the project and then try to enter full screen. The areas around the Aperture program window (menu bar and dock) turn black as if it were in full screen but the program window just sits there doing nothing as if I never clicked to enter full screen. If I try push F to exit full screen, the black disappears but my dock and menu bar do not return. At this point, I can't click on other projects and have to quit the program (just normal command-Q works fine) and re-open it to do anything.
What is strange is that if I click to view all my projects, enter full screen, and then double click on one of them that is giving me this problem, it will load the pictures fine. But it seems to hang up when I try to go to another project and I have to quit the program.
The 10 projects are all pictures taken within a 1 week trip and they include between 50-100 jpeg images each. They were imported into Aperture as part of my iPhoto library. No other pictures that came from iPhoto have this problem.
Things I have tried to fix the problem:
1. Repair permissions on library and system
2. Rebuild library
3. Export originals from iPhoto and import into Aperture as a new project
Any suggestions?
Edited to Add: If I double click a picture so it loads into "Viewer" mode, it seems to enter full screen mode fine when I press F, but the system hangs up and bogs down badly when I try to jump to another problem project from full screen mode. The Activity window says it's loading, but it never does. If I click on anything else, it just continues to say it's loading the first project I tried to switch to.

I have 4 GB of RAM in a 2.2 Ghz Santa Rosa MBP.
I don't believe it's an issue of needing to wait for it to load because it loads other projects perfectly. These 10 projects only have 50-100 jpegs (1.8 MB average file). I can enter and exit projects with 200 RAW files (5 MB average file) with absolutely no delay.
Additionally, it will never load the project. It will say it's loading in the Activity Window but never complete. I can't click to load anything else as the program basically locks up. But it's not really locked because I can Command-Q to exit and it closes properly.

Projects won't load

so i have been using iMovie a lot lately and have been satisfied with it. opened it one day and it suddenly won't load projects, so i deleted it then downloaded it off the app store (tried turning it off and on) once i turn on iMovie it "loads projects" and gives me the color wheel. the only thing i can do is force quit. any ideas?

I have had the same issue over the last couple of days. Imovie just doesn't load up for me. I tried trashing the preference/plist but it still doesn't respond. any solutions?

How can you open a project file backup if the main project won't load?

This has only started happening in the last couple of weeks. I'm on Logic 10.0.7, OSX 10.8.5. On one particular project, it will be loading seemingly normally, then it just disappears with no crash log, nothing.
Presumably there is some sort of corruption in the project file.
In the old pre package days, you would just go to the project file backups folder and pick a previous one. Bingo, you have only lost a little bit of work.
Now when I show package contents, the project file backups folder has project data files that won't open logic, and are invisible until you have logic open. Which I can't do.
Rue the day I selected the package option rather than folder.
Any suggestions?
Or to put the question another way, how can I convert the project data in the project file backups folder to a file that Logic can recognise and open?

Having his install the trial is the way to go. Working between AI versions is a pain and as you are finding out almost impossible with 5 versions between the collaborators.

Single Project Won't Load - Eternal Beach Ball - File too large?

I had just finished putting in the last still image in a project in iMovie last night when all of a sudden, my whole computer crashed. Another friend had been working on the same project on my machine and had mentioned that occasionally iMovie would randomly glitch but she didn't mention any crashes.
Now when I try to get to that particular project, I get the beach ball and it never goes away. I eventually force-quit the program.
I've cleared preferences files (which allowed me to load videos again, at first it was just sitting in this suspended state of "loading" but would never do anything) and deleted old movies and projects. This is the ONLY project that won't open.
I have 42.16GB available on my HD so I don't think space is an issue. (I could be wrong.) Again, I had just finished the project when everything went wrong.
I have searched the forums for answers and nothing seems to really match my issue. I've tried their suggestions anyway but nothing seems to be helping. (The deleting of preference files did solve the issue of nothing loading, however.)
I tried to copy the project file onto a disc so that I could maybe switch machines but that proved ineffective.
Help?

In searching other forums, I've seen a plethora of ideas but no real common thread. Someone said that trashing things before a movie is done will corrupt it. I don't believe I initially trashed anythinng necessary for the movie but now I have. Is all hope now lost?

Please help, project won't load

I've worked for months on this project, compiling video and photos of my son's first year. I made an awesome video, I honestly saved every 3 minutes if not more frequently. I FINALLY finshed earlier today, I went to burn it to a disc and it knocked down my whole computer and now the file won't re-load it comes up with the photos and videos in the "task bar" area on the right but doesn't show my final product. It has a red screen come up and saying Media offline. I am devistated and just don't know where to begin. any help would be greatly appreciated.
Sadly... Kim

If your computer crashed, then I would see this ARTICLE, as it sounds like more is going on, than you might realize.
I think that Steve's suggestion on looking at AutoSave PREL's is a good one too, but it could well be that the AutoSaves were Saved over.
Good luck,
Hunt

Project won't load into timeline

When I click on a specific project to open in the timeline the arrow icon showing the "film reel" (in the bottom left corner) switches directions like it's loading it into the timeline, but I still see everything in my project library. FCPX behaves like I'm seeing the timeline, but I'm not. I'm in the middle of editing a documentary and this is really bad timing for the software to give me serious issues like this.
I trashed preferences using "Preference Manager" and restarted, but it's not fixing the issue. This happened once before a couple of months ago and that trick fixed it, but it's not working this time.
Please help!
I'm using FCPX v10.0.8 on a MacBookPro 2.7 Ghz Intel Core i7 with 16GB of RAM. My media is on a Pegasus RAID connected via Thunderbolt.

This happened again! It has to be a bug, and it's a debiltating bug. FCPX loads your chosen project into the timeline, but the project library does not move out of the way. The software thinks it's moved out of the way and behaves like you are viewing the timeline, but you can't see any clips.
I trashed prefs, emptied the trash, shut down the computer, started up, launched FCPX, didn't open any other apps. One project loaded into the timeline (a shorter, less complex one), and then when I went to the one I need to work on....boom! It's broken again.
I worked almost all day today and it was fine, but now it got into this mode again. I had to quit and restart the program because other things were starting to get buggy (zoom viewer adjustment wasn't working correctly and the graphics on the audio weren't redrawing properly).
I'm quite frustrated.

CS4 - Project won't load on one comp, will on another

Hello, everyone! I have a Premiere Pro CS4 file that's being troublesome. It's only about 20 minutes worth of video, and about 4.85 GB of associated files.
I have two machines, one dedicated to editing, and one dedicated to rendering. The funny thing is that my project will load on the editing machine, andit will not load on the rendering machine.
The machine that I have dedicated to editing has these specs:
Q9400 @ 2.66ghz
8 GB DDR3 RAM
Intel mobo
Fatal1ty Nvidia GeForce 9600 GT 1GB Graphics card
1x 250 GB 10000 rpm HDD
1x 1 GB 7200 rpm HDD
64 Bit Vista
The machine that's for rendering has these specs:
Core i7 940 @ 2.93ghz
12 GB DDR3
Intel Mobo
Nvidia Quadro FX 580 Graphics card
2x 300 GB 10000 RPM HDDs
1x 300 GB 7200 RPM HDD (external)
Both are linked to a NAS unit. I can't for the life of me figure out why the slower computer loads it no problem, while the faster one hangs at about 2/3 of the way through the loading bar.
Thanks in advance for the help! I've called Adobe tech support, they have no clue.

Bill, thanks for the response! Much apreciated. To answer your questions..
Is the Project, and/or associated files on the NAS?
No, Sir. I've made well sure that all associated files are in one directory on a local disk. I've run project manager and amassed all assets in one directory.
On the editing machine, it loads fine whether or not I'm working from the NAS or from a Local Disk, I've tried both and both work fine.
On the rendering machine, it fails either way. I've made redundant copies on the NAS as well as the local disk, neither loads.
Is there a difference in the CODEC's installed between the two machines?
Possibly. The only Codecs on our rendering machine are the ones that were included with CS4 Master Collection, while on the editing machine, I do have apps such as AVIsynth, AVIdemux and FFDshow in addition to the codecs supplied by CS4.
To shed some light however, the project in question here is a demo project that contains bits from other projects. This demo is only about 20 minutes long. All of the original projects from which I've taken these bits loaded fine on the rendering computer, another reason as to why I'm perplexed.
What are the Assets in the Project?
Various M2TS video files, JPEGs, PNGs, one or two MP3s and a few pieces of premiere - native black video.
Again, all of these files loaded fine as part of the original main project files.
I'm guessing it's a conflict of some sort, somewhere, and loading it up on the editing machine and rendering it there works fine. The rendering machine does seem to work far faster, and while the workaround is feasible, it also holds up my workflow.
Thanks again for all the help!

Project won't load! Spinning beach ball at opening screen.

So my project is multi-camera, has all externally synced audio, and about 45 min of footage in current timeline. When I created the project, and edited the elements within, all worked fine. But now when I try to reopen the project, I get the spinning beach ball hanging at the opening screen for hours. It just shows "loading project into timeline" forever. It just doesn't want to open. Anyone run into these problems before??

Imovie 09 hangs on start-up, events and projects won't load

hi
been using imovie 09 with no problems since it came out
editing some footage today - I quit out of imovie - when I opened it again later - it opens up without the splash screen, doesn't load any projects or events (they remain untouched in movies folder) - menu items seem accessible - computer gets hot - imovie is constantly using round 20% of CPU - and then imovie crashes
wasn't doing anything strange just before - tried trashing the preferences but to no effect - any more suggestions?

sorry but I didn't get console logs - pity, since after this problem with iMovie started then the finder started crashing intermittently, and other programmes behaved strangely
I was wrong when I said I'd had no problems with iMovie 09 - should have said I had no problems with iMovie 08 - earlier today was the first intensive use of 09
since I have other unrelated deadlines to meet that I need my machine for and I keep regular multiple backups - I decided not to waste time troubleshooting but revert to a backup from before I started messing with iMovie - just waiting for that to complete so I can get on with my work
I really have no idea what happened - not a newbie, been using macs since 85 - never experienced this before, well, not since pre-OS X days - so I just stay clear of iMovie 09 for now
as I said, sorry not to have looked at the console logs so you could figure what went wrong - besides working in iMovie 09 I was also exporting some projects to iDVD - maybe it was something to do with the interaction between the two
now back to work

My project won't load!

Hi everyone.
Hey, i'm still using premiere pro cs3 to finish up one project that I started a long time ago.
I was just about to put the finishing touches on an export. I started loading my project, but I refuses to load. It gives me the following error:
[/Buffy/pro/3.0/MediaCore/ASL/Foundation/Make/Mac/../../Src/Mac/MacFile.cpp-943]
Can somone please help me know what is going on, and possibly how to fix this error?
(by the way, i've tried all my auto-save files, and they do the same thing...)
Thanks!

I had a small role in the overhaul of the relink feature set that we did in CC7.0, but I'm not familiar with exactly how the relinking logic worked in CS3.
I would rename the parent folder above all the content in your project, and copy the prproj file to an new folder, say on you desktop. Then try opening that copy of the project. Keep in mind that these measures are simply for purposes of seeing if you can open the project when the assets used in it are out of the equation. That is, it's diagnostic, not remedial.
What version of OSX are you on? If you've recently updated to 10.9, then you might be running into a problem that a few customers have reported where the OS changed the permissions on the AppSettings or Preferences. They didn't get the error message you report, but that could have changed in the intervening 4 versions. Again, I'm not sure where the prefs are in CS3, but I'd start looking at these two paths:
/Users/<USERNAME>/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Premiere Pro/3.0
/Users/<USERNAME>/Library/Preferences/Adobe/Premiere Pro/3.0
Some users have resolved this by creating a new user profile; others have corrected the permissions on the files or folders that got locked.

Project won't load in compressor when sent from FCPX???

Just purchased Compressor. It's not working!
When I click on "Add a File", it seems to work just fine loading in a video that I've already exported from FCPX into a .mov.
BUT, I haven't had luck sending a project from FCPX to Compressor to tweak before export to the web. This is what I get after clicking on "Send to Compressor":
It just sit there like this for several minutes, then Compressor closes on its own.
I went through the Compressor 4.1: Basic troubleshooting page and did everything on it...nothing helped. Yes, I did uninstall and re-install Compressor...still, no help.
I'm stumped.

Okay, Russ...I did some checking and here's what I came up with.
No, none of the projects that I have in FCPX are loading in compressor when I use "Send to Compressor"
Yes, I can export a master file of any of my projects and they will load into Compressor.
I'd prefer to send the project directly to compressor...seems like I'm adding an extra step by creating the Master File that might degrade quality just that tiny little bit if I do that. But I'm pretty new to this, so maybe that's not an issue at all.
